CVS with a Crohn's chaser

[DeeDubya]

Hi. We have a 16-year-old son who has dealt with Cyclic Vomiting Syndrome since he was 8. He would typically experience 5-6 CVS episodes per year. Last summer he started having them every 7-10 days and was admitted to the hospital 8 times between May and August. Additional testing resulted in a Crohn's diagnosis which has caused a stricture at the ileo-cecal valve. We've started Remicade infusions and Methotrexate in hopes of avoiding surgery. Just found this forum and look forward to learning from y'all.

Welcome . I am sorry for what your son has gone through. I hope this treatment works for him. I would suggest you also post in the section called Parents of Kids with ibd.
